  • Fun With Photoshop CS4 Chalk and Charcoal Filter
    By Mike on September 1, 2009 | 3 Comments3 Comments  Comments

    post-crazy1

    Creating cool chalk and charcoal effects is easy with the chalk and charcoal filter in Photoshop CS4. You’ll find it in the Filter tab under the sketch menu. (Filter>Sketch>Chalk & Charcoal.)

    1. Open your image then select the chalk and charcoal filter from the sketch menu under the filter tab.

    2. The light areas of your picture will inherit the background colors and the dark areas will inherit the foreground colors.

    3. Set the chalk and charcoal areas in the middle of the settings range so you can increase or decrease the effect as needed. Set it to 10 or less.

    4. Experiment with the pressure. Start at 2 or 3 then adjust the numbers ’til you get the view looking the way you want it. Again, experiment here.

    5. Click OK to apply the filter

    6. Look at the result and decide if you like it or not.

     

    Once satisfied with the result, save your work.

  • Photoshop DVD of The Week
    By Mike on December 12, 2008 | No Comments  Comments

    digital-cosmetic-surgery1With over 60 Photoshop Video tutorials, more than 6 hours of interactive training, and dozens of practice images so you can follow along — Digital Cosmetic Surgery For CS2 is one of the most raved about video training programs Shane Goldberg, the man known for his incredibly clear and highly effective teaching style, has ever produced.

    When first released the DVD sold for $97.00 and hundreds were snapped up so quickly our office was in a spin.

    Now, almost two years later, we’re doing the unthinkable: We’re selling surplus stock (only about 50 remain) for almost HALF the Regular List Price – but ONLY while limited stocks remain.

    Then, when this batch is gone, we’ll either remove the DVD from our catalog – to makeway for digital cosmetic surgery CS4 – or increase the price to around the $89 mark and remove the free bonus gift that we’re offering at the moment.

    Either way, if you want to get better at editing and retouching Photos of people – or if you just want to broarden your overall skills with Photoshop – then, you’ve probably only got a few days to grab one of these before they’re all gone.
